breast augmentation after 65

jordan: hi, i'm jordan rubin. dr. axe is out for the day, so you're stuckwith me, but we're going to talk about a great topic today that i believe affects millionsand millions of americans. heavy metal toxicity. now, how do you know if you have heavy metaltoxicity? let's begin to talk about some of the symptomsthat mercury, cadmium, lead, and arsenic can cause. but before we do, i think i should discusssome of the ways we're exposed to heavy metals. now there's a belief that heavy metal toxicitycan be passed down through giving birth.

in utero, you can actually have a greaterconcentration of heavy metals due to the heavy metals that are stored in the mom. now think about this. heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, leadand arsenic, they're heavier. that's why they are called heavy metals, andthey often store in your adipose or fat tissue. they're also similar to fat-soluble toxinswhich are the most difficult to get rid of, and that's one of the reasons why we havebody fat to store those toxins away from harming our organs. that's why fat can be actually pretty important.

so we can contract heavy metals through birth,really just coming into this planet. then you start being exposed to an environment,so the heavy metals that are part of everything from toys to paint to other common householditems. now dental work is a big one. a lot of us have been very vocal against theuse of metals or mercury in amalgam dental fillings and other dental work. and we know that vaccines particularly inthe past have used thimerosal, which is a mercury compound as a preservative and that'snot to mention several processed foods and even natural foods.

bottom line though folks, heavy metals suchas lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic, they're all in the food supply. they're in soil, which means they're in plant. so it's not all bad, but most everyone hassome level, in my opinion, of toxic metal exposure in the environment. we haven't even talked about various corporationsdumping some of these byproducts, aerospace is a big one, etc. so that can be really, really dangerous. but what do heavy metals do to us?

if you're somebody who has children that areautistic or on the autism spectrum, even hyperactivity, adhd, add, likely a component of heavy metaltoxicity. almost everyone who is dealing with cancerlikely has heavy metal toxicity or at least abnormally high levels of one or more of thebig four heavy metals that are out there. if you are somebody who is in the constructionindustry or printing or in a salon, all of those occupations can expose you to heavymetals. so if you're interested in this information,you know others that are because i think everybody needs to hear this, go ahead and click yourshare button. if you love what i'm talking about today,go ahead and punch that like button and if

you have some questions, bailey is going tobe parroting them to me because i am not as quick as dr. axe at reading a smartphone. i want to be eyes on you the entire time. so if you are somebody also, we didn't talkabout this, if you've got low-energy, if you've got an imbalanced immune system. a lot of folks that have syndromes, irritablebowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, a lot of these conditions are related to heavy metal toxicity. neurodegenerative diseases, alzheimer's, parkinson'sdementia, many of those are believed to be implicated with heavy metals.

i also should've mentioned that antiperspirants,traditional antiperspirants can provide aluminum exactly where you don't want it and even usingaluminum foil and various cookware. so there's a lot of reasons to believe thatmost of us have an unhealthy exposure to heavy metals, causing all manner of conditions fromthe gut, the immune system, certainly the brain, but best of all we're going to tellyou today how to begin the body's natural detoxification process to get rid of heavymetals. we want to arm the liver, we want to arm thekidneys. your eliminative organs such as the skin,the lymphatic system. even the respiratory system to naturally anddaily eliminate these heavy metals.

so let's get started. number one, chlorella. chlorella is a single-celled or unicellularalgae, it's a green algae, and its name comes from the fact that it is the richest marinealgae source of chlorophyll. so that's where you get the chlorella. chlorella typically is cracked cell wall chlorella,which means it's very hungry to absorb other elements. chlorella taken as powder or in tablet formis great at removing heavy metals from the body, particularly lead and mercury.

how much chlorella? i think 1 to 4 grams a day in powder or intablets, there are a lot of different brands of chlorella tablets, is a great way to utilizethis powerful single celled algae to get rid of heavy metals and provide some nutrition. i believe there's a great article on chlorellaand its benefits on draxe.com, so make sure to log on there. number two. the number two detox strategy to get rid ofheavy metals is using an activated charcoal. now, charcoal, believe it or not, is veryimportant in first aid.

i say, believe it or not, because while wewould consider it a natural treatment, poison control centers will often tell you to usecharcoal if you've been poisoned. charcoal, which is often made from coconutshells is an organic material, full of carbon that helps to remove toxins and poisons fromthe body and can be an important part every day in your health. we also know that various forms of charcoalcalled biochar are good in agriculture, you'll find that what helps the soil often helpsyour body. i'm jordan rubin here discussing 10 heavymetal detox strategies. and if you are interested in improving yourenergy, helping your brain health, or if you

got parents or grandparents that are dealingwith early stages of parkinson's, alzheimer's, you have kids that are autistic, if you'vegot someone you know and love with cancer, you need to know how to detoxify your bodyfrom heavy metals. if you're enjoying this, go ahead and clickthat like button. make sure to share this information becauseit could be life changing. number three, shilajit. may be difficult to spell but awesome. so shilajit is very similar to charcoal inthat it contains a lot of carbon. but shilajit also is a chelator of heavy metalsdue to its humic and fulvic acid.

shilajit is, believe it or not, an adaptogenicorganic mineral compound which is used in ayurvedic medicine to support overall health. i recommend consuming shilajit every day,let's say between 100 and 500 mg. you can find shilajit in local supplementbrands. you can even order powders online. shilajit is really great. it's formed by the organic decomposition ofplants and material over thousands of years, primarily found in the himalayas. the fourth heavy metal detox strategy whichwe just briefly mentioned is fulvic acid.

i've even seen now waters that are in healthfood stores that are all-black. i think one of them is called blk, that isa fulvic acid water. fulvic acid is an organic acid that deliversnutrients to the body and removes toxins. you can consume fulvic acid in a liquid formor in a powder. it is extracted from something called shilajitor humic material. both fulvic and humic acids help to detoxifythe body. if you're consuming shilajit you don't needadditional fulvic acid, but if you can find a fulvic acid product in a liquid or powderform, it is great for detoxification. folks we're already almost halfway there.

and if you're somebody who lacks energy, whoneeds to boost your brain, who is dealing with cancer or you just want to detox, it'stime to get rid of heavy metals through 10 detox strategies. if you're someone who says, "how do i knowi have heavy metal issues?" maybe you have adrenal issues. maybe you have thyroid issues. maybe you can't lose weight and don't knowwhy. heavy metal toxicity is more abundant thanyou could ever imagine. in fact, every day i make use of at leasthalf of these strategies to daily detoxify

my body and i believe you should too. number five cilantro. cilantro is a powerful leafy herb, you'veused it, common in mexican dishes that is amazing particularly to detoxify mercury. mercury found in dental products, vaccinations. we need to get rid of it, cilantro is great. you can eat cilantro, but it's really bestto juice it. so if you make a juice, a raw juice, here'swhat i recommend. celery, cucumber, maybe a little parsley thatwould be the base, you could certainly add

carrot if you want a sweeter juice and i wouldmake cilantro about 10% of your juice. if you drink straight cilantro juice, it cancause you, let's just say to be in the bathroom a little more than you'd like, but cilantrois a powerful detoxifier, especially combined with these other powerful strategies. cilantro can also be made into a tincturewhich i've often enjoyed. it's really, really good and certainly eatingcilantro fresh is great. cilantro has chlorophyll and other compoundsthat we believe detoxify the body from mercury. so we're halfway done, i am jordan rubin herefor dr. josh axe discussing 10 strategies to detoxify your body from heavy metals, boostyour energy, boost your immune system, make

sure your brain works properly. unburden your body to help tackle memory issues,children's behavioral issues, skin issues. you may want to overcome syndromes such aslyme disease or fibromyalgia, cancer, of course, and then neurodegenerative diseases from parkinson'sto alzheimer's to multiple sclerosis. all could have an underlying component ofheavy metals. so bailey let's get some questions going,we are halfway done with our 10 strategies today. bailey: maria would like to know if you havea plate from reconstructive surgery in your body, is it possible to detox heavy metals?

jordan: it's a great question. if you have a plate from reconstructive surgeryand i'm also going to add this bailey, i don't know if anyone called in or is asking aboutthis, but if somebody has had cosmetic surgery, implants in particular, that can often causetoxicity in a similar fashion. you can absolutely detox and you should. here's the deal folks. your body is detoxing whether you like itor not. well, what do you mean? last night when i put my 13-year-old emmato bed, she had a fever.

now some people freak out. she had already taken some great advantageof the tips we shared earlier on how to fight colds and flus, i am excited when my kidshave a fever in short duration, because that fever is destroying microbes and helping thebody detoxify. if somebody's got what they would call anupper respiratory infection and you expectorate lots of mucus, guess what also comes out? the breeding ground for microbes and metals. so if you've got metal in your body, if you'vegot foreign substances in your body, you need to detox.

don't make it a 10-day deal only, do it everysingle day. so i believe we have two more questions, bailey. bailey: jesse would like to know, what's thebest way to test your body for heavy metals? jordan: great question. heavy metal testing is widely available. in the old days and i still think it's relevant,hair mineral analysis was used, which is certainly something you can do but go to a local integrativepractitioner or look up on draxe.com heavy metal testing and you will learn some of thetests that your integrative or complementary practitioner can give you.

but almost every antiaging doctor, functionalmedicine doctor will do some form of metal diagnostic testing and you absolutely shouldtake advantage of it if you believe you have toxicity. but the bottom line folks, you don't needto test to incorporate these 10 powerful natural strategies today. next question. bailey: denise wants to know, are there sideeffects to expect while you're detoxing heavy metals? jordan: denise, this is a great question.

when you detoxify you often experience somethingcalled a jarisch-herxheimer reaction. now it's kind of interesting, some of us wantto be known for certain things with our legacy. could you imagine good old dr. marvin herxheimer,it might not be his name, but sounds pretty good. he's known for an effect that occurs duringdetox when you reabsorb some of the toxins and you have gas, bloating, loose bowels,a rash. you feel nauseous or yucky, good old dr. herxheimerhe will always be remembered for that. but truth be told, i would estimate when detoxifyingfrom heavy metals about 30% of the people will begin to feel worse before they feelbetter and an old naturopathic paradigm is

that the body heals itself from the top tothe bottom in a reverse order when you first experience the symptoms. so think about that and you often need togo through a cleansing or detoxification reaction to feel better. so if you're drinking cilantro, if you'reconsuming shilajit, if you are following some of these strategies you might feel a littleworse before you feel better. but here's the good news. the remaining five they will actually helpyou mitigate the detoxification reaction. so any time you're getting rid of metals orcandida when you're changing your microbiome,

you are going to experience some detox symptoms. rest assured, that's a good thing, and whenyou get through it, you'll feel even better. so if you're starting these strategies andyou get a quick cold or nausea or you have loose bowels or you may even be constipated,i got to tell you, you're on the right track. and this is really tough to say because i'mone of those people that absolutely hates to throw up and i don't very much, but inthe ayurvedic tradition they would actually force vomiting because it is an amazing wayto detox the body. i do not recommend that but understand thatwhen the body is getting rid of something, that's a good thing.

conventional medicine suppresses and pushesit all back. we need to get it out. so make sure to do that. i'm jordan rubin by the way, here for dr.josh axe sharing with you 10 powerful strategies to detox your body from heavy metals, moreenergy, more brainpower, better immune system and gut function, better skin. get the metals out because they're in yourbody and they last. so let's do that together. we've already shared the first 5, we're onnumber 6 through 10.

number six is sbos. soil-based organisms are probiotics that actuallyhelp break down junk in the body and facilitate the elimination of heavy metals. in the environment soil-based organisms dothis for plants. in your body they do it for you. they create powerful enzymes to get rid ofwaste material that harbors toxicity including heavy metals, though i can't tell you themechanism of action. why do sbos get rid of metals, i don't know,but i've seen amazing results time and time again, especially when sbos are combined withshilajit or fulvic acid.

powerful combination. so take a probiotic with sbos, eat natto andother foods that contain soil-based organisms and those would include bacillus subtilis,bacillus coagulans, and bacillus clausii. they're really, really good to remove metalsfrom the body primarily through the bowel. number seven, clay. now remember what i told you, some of thesestrategies help trap the toxins, getting them out of the body, so you don't feel yucky. clay is critical. i like bentonite or montmorillonite clay.

in fact, the very first clay supplement wascreated by victor earl irons out of kansas, a pioneer in colon cleansing and this liquidclay in that case was a great detoxifier. now here's what's awesome about bentoniteor montmorillonite. it both absorbs and adsorbs toxins. in acts like a toxin sponge and a toxin magnetand it can even neutralize acids. so even if the clay that you see in storesis for topical use only, i would contact the company and see if you can take it orally. you can mix powdered clay about a half a teaspoonin water or juice, one to two times a day, shake it up and drink it and when you're ona detox program, it's a great way to do it.

dr. josh axe wrote the book "eat dirt" wherehe talks about people in indigenous cultures who eat clay and there is a name for themcalled pica. they say that women all over the world duringcertain times in their life are interested in consuming or actually crave the mineralsfound in soil or clay, as it were. i know as a farmer, i watch my animals atcertain times consume clay and we use clay in their dietary regime to help remove parasitesfrom their body. i'm a huge believer in consuming clay. keep this in mind though, some clays actuallyhave on the bottle a prop 65 warning saying that they may contain heavy metals.

the clay and its inorganic material does notcontribute heavy metals to the body. it rather sucks them out. so keep that in mind. one of my favorite clays to use is redmondhealing clay out of utah. check it out. you'll be glad you did. number eight, bone broth. you didn't think i would leave bone brothout. bone broth is a powerful superfood that helpsdetoxify and rehydrate.

so think about it. if you're detoxing, you have loose bowels,or you're vomiting. i know that sounds terrible, but sometimesyou got a breakthrough. you need something to make you feel better. bone broth simultaneously hydrates and detoxifiesby contributing to the liver production of glutathione. the glycine that is plentiful in bone brothhelps the liver detoxify along with cysteine and glutamic acid, forming a tripeptide threeamino acids to facilitate detoxification. also contains minerals and helps build thebody.

the best cleanse i know of is a bone brothcleanse. if you want to really cleanse, three dayson bone broth, consume clay twice a day. so morning and evening bone broth cleanse,you can use liquid bone broth that you make. you can buy it or you can use a powder. it is amazing. it's pretty short and you'll lose some weight,but maintain that muscle mass because bone broth has protein sparing effects. number nine, the ninth detox strategy to removeheavy metals from your body, freeing you from brain issues, immune system issues and gutissues is milk thistle.

milk thistle is probably the most popularliver detoxifying herb. milk thistle seed contains silymarin. now, you can buy milk thistle seeds, i boughtsome right at the health food store in bulk and you can make a tea or decoction. here's how you do it. take one tablespoon of milk thistle seed,put in a pot with 16 ounces of water and boil. to bring it to a boil, simmer for about 20minutes or as long as four hours and the resulting liquid which doesn't taste all that bad isconcentrated milk thistle, which also supports the liver, producing glutathione and naturallyremoving heavy metals.

folks, your liver is critical to remove thosemetals and make them into smaller, easier compounds to eliminate. that's what your liver does. it breaks big things down into small thingsso that they can be excreted in your urine, through your bowel movements, respiration,etc. one thing that i wanted to bring up, i haveput people on cleanses before, particularly juice cleanses and when they're getting ridof metals their mouth tastes like metal. they sort of have a lot of thick sour tastingjunk. in fact, a friend of mine who is in constructionate a normal sort of conventional diet, was

diagnosed with cancer. i put him on a detox, a metal detox, and hesaid to me, "jordan, can i cut my tongue off?" i know that's severe, but it was painful. there was a yucky taste in his mouth, butultimately the metals were excreted. that's a way to know that it's working andthat partially reiterates my answer to the question, denise posed, do we experience detoxsymptoms. so these are 9 of the 10 heavy metal detoxstrategies and number 10, broccoli sprouts. broccoli sprouts contain glucosinolates, dimethyl,a dime, which is a type of isocyanate, which also supports the liver and helps to detoxify.

if you can consume broccoli sprouts, freshin salads or juice them, you will be so glad you did. they are powerful for the liver. they have been proven to be anticancer andthey are more than a dozen times more potent than mature broccoli stalks or broccoli flowers,if you will. all of these are powerful. all of these are for you. let me give you a quick recap folks. if you are somebody who has an autistic child,child with add, adhd, if you've got parents

or you yourself early stages of alzheimer's,dementia, parkinson's, if you've got multiple sclerosis or an autoimmune disease, such asrheumatoid arthritis, if you've got skin issues, acne, psoriasis, eczema is a big one. if you've got low energy, if you have reproductiveissues, all of these can be attributed in part to heavy metal exposure and toxicity. we've today talked about 10 heavy metal detoxstrategies. chlorella in tablets or powder every day toremove mercury, cadmium, lead, and arsenic. charcoal, you can do this occasionally coupleof times a week, really great at absorbing toxins.

shilajit containing fulvic acid, use one orboth to bind to metals and remove them from the body and support digestion. cilantro is great particularly for mercuryas part of your fresh juice or tincture. sbos are the probiotics that help your bodyremove junk, which also lessens your metal load. clay not only helps remove metals, but makesyour detoxification experience much more comfortable and that's important. bone broth has glycine among other nutrientsto help your body produce glutathione, the master antioxidant which helps remove metals.

milk thistle, the number one herb to supportyour liver. make it in a tea, and take a supplement, ofcourse, but one tablespoon of seeds in a decoction one to two times a day, powerful liver support. broccoli sprouts great for liver as well. anything bitter is good by the way. great in a salad, juiced or eaten by itself. so these are the 10 detox strategies to removemetals from your body. now it's time for you to ask some more questions. we have got three i believe, what are they,bailey?

bailey: linda wants to know, will cilantroessential oil work the same way as drinking juice cilantro? jordan: linda, that's a great question. cilantro essential oil is amazing. it does not provide all the benefits becausethe plant has chlorophyll which also is a very powerful purifier of the body. all that to be said, the essential oil isamazing. so use cilantro or coriander essential oilas part of your detox strategy. folks, these are only 10 of probably 50 amazingstrategies.

i wanted to give you some easy, simple toexecute strategies today, but cilantro essential oil is great. i would recommend one to two drops, two tothree times a day, mixed in water or juice. bailey: lisa wants to know, is it okay tocook your foods in aluminum foil or will this cause some toxicity? i do not recommend cooking your food in aluminumfoil. i know this is frustrating with sweet potatoes,etc. but really try to use some type of glassware, something like that. the occasional use of aluminum is not goingto harm anybody tremendously, but we are exposed

to too much in our environment to take therisks. so i would not cook in aluminum foil. wrapping things in aluminum foil are a littleless of a problem than when you heat the aluminum which releases some of the metal ions.bailey: maria would like to know, what's the best way to get more milk thistle into yourdiet? jordan: the best way to get milk thistle intoyour diet is to either a, take a supplement capsule, look for silymarin extract, whichis the key component in milk thistle, make a decoction or an infusion. an infusion is easy.

get milk thistle in your store, in bulk, ororder online, a tablespoon. just pour hot water over it like you wouldany other tea. that's a great way to do it. you can buy tinctures and you can also finda tea, so there are detox teas that are in the tea section that you can use that arevery, very easy. folks, i'm jordan rubin today here for dr.josh axe and i believe this information that i shared can absolutely change your life. if you've had dental work, if you have parentswith a history of disease that may have passed on metal toxicity to you, if you or your childhas learning or brain issues, if you've got
